Got round to doing the old tail chop yesterday, spent longer then what i planned as the wiring for the rear had been attcked before by somone, and most of the connections were loose and corroed, so got a bunch of new connecters and made up some new brackets. Used some galvanised steel i had in the garage for the reg brackets. and a new piece from BnQ for the indicator brackets.

I pleased with the outcome of it. i know its not 100% perfect but its miles better then the ugly thing that was there before.

picture time

and how it was before

Quite a neat job. You really should cover your number plate up though when taking pics or distort in photoshop.

Good for you. Waterproofs in the rain from now on then.
